Project Goals
The Snowmad, or the “Snow Nomad”, concept art series was developed to promote a passion project of mine into official content on a role play server. Due to the popularity of the art among the community, it soon succeeded in becoming a part of mainstream content.
One of the primary goals of the developmental phase was to design a unique movement system for Snowmads. Using fluid-like forms, I created a system of motion in which the natural tendencies of wind and water became cues for how a Snowmad might move. This idea helped differentiate them from being 'normal snowmen' since traditional animations only show chunks of snow floating around unnaturally.
It is popular in the role play community to pull several ideas from various places and combine them all into a single character. This fox-like concept art was created to prove that this sort of cross-application is only limited to the player's imagination.
